"Hoffman told camerman, reporters, passing workmen,
and a few stray Bowery bums that Bobby Seale, chairman of the
Black Panthers and one of the indicted, may face 10 years in
jail for a 15 minute speech in Lincoln Park. David Dellinger
and Rennard Davis of the National Mobilization Committee to
End the War in Vietnam are among the defendants. The founder
of Students for a Democratic Society, Thomas Hayden, and a
Northwestern University student, Lee Weiner, will also be
on trial. Jerry Rubin, Hoffman's associate in the Youth
International Party, was indicted along with the other seven.
“Hoffman said that their followers would exhaust
legal means in court and start a ‘movement in the streets
to show that no one should be sitting on their ass while
we are being fried'. He called the trials ‘a great con-
Spiracy to put a few of us in jail’.
"The Chicago Conspiracy will give out autographed
baseballs. Hoffman adnitted that ‘we're Chicago Cub fans' to
which a workman on the street replied, ‘If you want to be in
the money, stay with fhe Mets'."
